In Brief

Mercedes-Benz will present updated Marco Polo and Marco Polo Horizon campers at Caravan-Salon in Düsseldorf, along with a new all-wheel-drive option for fully integrated models based on the Sprinter.

Mercedes-Benz will showcase updated Marco Polo and Marco Polo Horizon campers at the Caravan-Salon trade fair in Düsseldorf (August 28 – September 6). A new all-wheel-drive option for fully integrated motorhomes based on the Sprinter will also be presented.

Production of the Marco Polo and Horizon will be fully transferred to Mercedes-Benz, which should increase flexibility. Improvements include lighting, shading, acoustics, and connectivity. Technical data and prices have not yet been disclosed.

The Torque-on-Demand all-wheel-drive system will be available for fully integrated models, providing automatic torque distribution between axles. The first prototype with this system will be shown by Swedish company Kabe (Imperial Ri830 Traq 4x4). Last year, every tenth Sprinter sold was purchased by customers in the motorhome sector.

Rhön Camp The Core: 5.93-meter camper on Mercedes Sprinter with seats for five

At the Caravan Salon, Rhön Camp presented The Core, a compact camper based on the Mercedes Sprinter with a length of 5.93 meters. Thanks to an integrated GRP high roof with a roof bed and an integrated awning, as well as a three-seat rear bench, it offers sleeping places for up to five people. The on-board technology is completely gas-free: induction hob and compressor fridge are powered by an LFP battery. Prices and delivery times have not yet been announced.
